This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Unless the price halves 2 for one is cheaper in the long run.
So unless the few quid spent on bog roll would earn lots of interest in your savings account then taking advantage of low prices of non-perishable goods is a perfectly good strategy.

I know, intellectually it's the right thing to do
but then I think, do I want to live in a house where every cupboard is stuffed with packets of toilet roll, kitchen towel and toothpaste?
